Definitions
- the present invention relates to ground working equipment, such as an agricultural implement, and, more particularly, to a system for attaching row units on an agricultural implement.
- planting implements e.g., planters
- These planting implements typically include multiple row units distributed across the width of the implement.
- Each row unit is configured to deposit seeds at a desired depth beneath the soil surface, thereby establishing rows of planted seeds.
- each row unit may include a ground engaging tool that forms a seeding path for seed deposition into the soil.
- the opener excavates a trench into the soil, and seeds are deposited into the trench.
- Individual row units are usually attached to a common implement tool bar, for example by U-bolts which fasten row unit receiving head brackets to the tool bar.
- Some planters have the ability to plant two different crops. For example, corn is typically planted in rows spaced 30 inches on center from one another while beans are more closely spaced at 15 inches between rows.
- a planter having 31 row units may have adjacent row units longitudinally offset from one another to allow field debris to pass around the offset units. Alternate ones of the units, 15 in this example, may be pivoted out of the way for planting, e.g., corn, in more widely spaced rows while the those units may be pivoted down and employed in planting crop such as beans in 31 more narrowly spaced rows.

Abstract
Description
- This application is a Continuation of U.S. Ser. No. 15/657,906 filed Jul. 24, 2017, which is a divisional of U.S. Ser. No. 14/755,034, filed Jun. 30, 2015, now U.S. Pat. No. 9,743,576, issued Aug. 29, 2017.
- The present invention relates to ground working equipment, such as an agricultural implement, and, more particularly, to a system for attaching row units on an agricultural implement.
- Generally, planting implements (e.g., planters) are towed behind a tractor or other work vehicle via a mounting bracket secured to a rigid frame (tool bar) of the implement. These planting implements typically include multiple row units distributed across the width of the implement. Each row unit is configured to deposit seeds at a desired depth beneath the soil surface, thereby establishing rows of planted seeds. For example, each row unit may include a ground engaging tool that forms a seeding path for seed deposition into the soil. As the implement travels across a field, the opener excavates a trench into the soil, and seeds are deposited into the trench. Individual row units are usually attached to a common implement tool bar, for example by U-bolts which fasten row unit receiving head brackets to the tool bar.
- Some planters, known as splitters, have the ability to plant two different crops. For example, corn is typically planted in rows spaced 30 inches on center from one another while beans are more closely spaced at 15 inches between rows. A planter having 31 row units may have adjacent row units longitudinally offset from one another to allow field debris to pass around the offset units. Alternate ones of the units, 15 in this example, may be pivoted out of the way for planting, e.g., corn, in more widely spaced rows while the those units may be pivoted down and employed in planting crop such as beans in 31 more narrowly spaced rows.
- Some farmers purchase a planter and modify it to change spacing. They may buy a 24 row planter with 20 inch spacing and change it to 12 row with 38 inch spacing to plant specialty crops. Tool bars are becoming increasingly crowded. Today with all of the obstructions on top of the bar (vacuum systems, hydraulic systems, and other structures) modifying the planter configuration is difficult.
- What is needed in the art is a simple technique for modifying a planter configuration,
- The present invention provides a way to attach head brackets to a tool bar using a clamping system for easier adjusting to the spacing of row units.
- The invention in one form is directed to a towable agricultural implement having a transverse tool bar, a plurality of like row units, and a coupling arrangement for coupling the row units to the tool bar. A plurality of like brackets each receive a corresponding row unit head and an elongated transverse member of generally uniform C-shaped cross-sectional configuration has the closed side of the “C” fixed to the tool bar. Each of the brackets is bolted to the open side of the “C” opposite the tool bar.
- The invention in another form is directed to a fastening arrangement for attaching row units to the tool bar of an agricultural implement. A plurality of head brackets are each adapted to receive a row unit. An elongated open C-shaped channel member is connected to the tool bar and protruding therefrom to removable receive a plurality of row unit head brackets. A plurality of clamping nut and bolt assemblies fasten the head brackets to the channel member. Each clamping nut and bolt assembly includes a bolt adapted to pass through a head bracket aperture and threadedly engage the corresponding clamping nut. Each clamping nut grips the inner edge of the “C” as a bolt is tightened.
- In yet another form, the invention, there is a clamping nut and bolt assembly for fastening a head bracket of an agricultural implement to an elongated open C-shaped channel member. The clamping nut is formed as an elongated rigid member having a transverse threaded aperture and an elongated lip extending along one edge generally orthogonal to the threaded. aperture. The lip is contoured to mate with a corresponding edge of the open side of the “C”. The clamping nut may include a second transverse threaded aperture extending generally parallel to and spaced from the first threaded aperture whereby the clamping nut may accommodate a pair of bolts.
- An advantage of the present invention is that if is now possible to provide a common tool bar (or tooling) for different sized planters.
- Another advantage is some tool bar clutter is alleviated and the repositioning of row unit head brackets is facilitated.
- Yet another advantage is the possibility of providing a blank tool bar and the appropriate row unit completing kits to allow farmers to custom build a planter.
- The above-mentioned and other features and advantages of this invention, and the manner of attaining them, will become more apparent and the invention will be better understood by reference to the following description of an embodiment of the invention taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
-
FIG. 1 is a top view of a portion of an agricultural planter incorporating the invention in one form; -
FIG. 2 is an isometric view of an illustrative tool bar, C-shaped channel and head brackets suitable for use inFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 3 is a top plan view of the tool bar, C-shaped channel and head brackets ofFIG. 2 ; -
FIG. 4 is a rear elevation view of the structure ofFIGS. 2 and 3 ; -
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view along line 5-5 ofFIGS. 3 and 4 ; -
FIG. 6 is an exploded isometric view of an illustrative head bracket and clamping nuts for use inFIGS. 2-5 ; -
FIG. 7 is a top plan view of a variation onFIG. 3 ; -
FIG. 8 is a rear elevation view of the structure ofFIG. 7 ; -
FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view along line 9-9 ofFIGS. 7 and 8 ; and -
FIG. 10 is an exploded isometric view of the variation ofFIGS. 7-9 . - Corresponding reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views. The exemplification set out herein illustrates one embodiments of the invention, in one form, and such exemplification is not to be construed as limiting the scope of the invention in any manner.
- Referring now to the drawings, and more particularly to
FIG. 1 , there is shown a portion of aplanter 10 or similar agricultural implement which may be towed generally in the direction ofarrow 12. The implement includes atool bar 14 to which anelongated channel 16 of generally C-shaped cross-section is fixed as by welding along the closed edge of the “C”. As noted earlier, many planting implements are too wide for transport on highways, entry to farm fields through gates, or for barn storage. These may have a relatively fixed central portion with additional portions extending laterally as wings which may be pivoted and/or rotated to a stowed position for transport or storage. Thetool bar 14 illustrated may either form part of such a central portion or part of a wing. - A number of illustrative row units such as 18 and 20 are shown. The configuration illustrated would be for planting narrow spaced rows of crop, e.g., beans. The illustrated row units are conventional and are received in head brackets such as 22, 24 and 26 in a conventional manner. The current technology uses threaded U-Bolts to clamp around the main part of the
tool bar 14 and attaches the head brackets like 22, 24 and 26 directly thereto with nuts. These head brackets are attached to the tool bar in an entirely different fashion in the present invention. - In
FIG. 2 , anillustrative head bracket 30 is shown in spaced alignment with theelongated channel 16. The remaining head brackets such as 32, 34 and 36 are fixed to the channel. Brackets such as 32 and 36 differ from brackets such as 34 only in extending further rearward and employing an additional plate adjacent to the channel to accept bolts and clamping nuts. Thechannel 16 is fixed to thetool bar 14 by welding at 56 (FIG. 5 ) along the closed edge of the “C”. A set of clampingnuts unit gripping arms - There is a set of four clamping nut and bolt assemblies for each bracket. Each clamping nut may, as best seen in
FIG. 6 , comprise an elongated member of generally uniform cross-sectional configuration having a threadedaperture lip upper clamping nuts bolts clamping nuts FIG. 10 . - The clamping brackets of
FIGS. 2.5 are configured for a narrow row spacing while the clamping brackets ofFIGS. 7-10 are configured for a wider row spacing as might be employed in planting corn. The clampingnuts nuts apertures - An assembly technique utilizing these longer clamping nuts is illustrated in
FIG. 10 . Bolts such as 78 and 80 are passed through apertures inhead bracket 82 and loosely threaded into the clampingnut apertures dotted lines 84. Then the assembly is slid longitudinally into the channelopen end 86 alonglines 88. The set of clamping nuts passes into the open “C” end and along the interior of the “C” edge until the bracket is positioned at a preferred location whereupon the bolts may be tightened to lock the bracket at that preferred location. The opposite channel end may be similarly open to accept head brackets with clamping nut and bolt assemblies. - Repositioning of head brackets simply requires loosening four bolts, sliding the bracket to a desired location, and retightening the four bolts.
- Substantially the same advantages accrue when employing a set of single clamping nuts as in
FIG. 6 , or the double clamping nut as shown inFIG. 10 and either clamping nut configuration may be employed in any of the illustrated assemblies. By moving the attachment point off the tool bar and to a formed structural shape that is welded to the bar adjustment is made easier. This also makes it possible to communize tool bars in the plant so that the base tool bar is the same for equal sizes planters. This would also allow the size of the tool bar shape (7×7 today) to vary in size (say to an 8×8 or a 9×7) without the need to tool another bolt on head bracket. - While this invention has been described with respect to at least one embodiment, the present invention can be further modified within the spirit and scope of this disclosure. This application is therefore intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the invention using its general principles. Further, this application is intended to cover such departures from the present disclosure as come within known or customary practice in the art to which this invention pertains and which fall within the limits of the appended claims.
